    PRWeb – Fri, Jan 20, 2012

    The Innovation Intake, published by Innovate+Educate in partnership with Intel, is set to feature interviews with U.S. News & World Report editor Brian Kelly and Policy Contributor Cordell Carter of the Business Round Table, in addition to the SETforJOBS.org collaboration between the Entertainment Industries Council (EIC) and Business and Industry STEM Education Coalition (BISEC)

    Reston, VA (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

    The inaugural issue of The Innovation Intake, published by Innovate+Educate, will feature an article announcing the February 2012 launch of SETforJOBS.org, a partnership between the Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC) and the Business and Industry STEM Education Coalition (BISEC).

    The Innovation Intake is the first nationally distributed publication dedicated to producing and driving high level conversation around critical STEM issues. With contributions from the nation's thought leaders in the areas of policy, industry, education, media and philanthropy, The Innovation Intake aims to turn conversation into action and take the idea of information sharing to a whole new level. The quarterly eZine will be distributed nationwide and available through their website.

    The first issue features an article written by Susan Lavrakas, Director, Workforce at Aerospace Industries Association, delineating the value added of belonging to the Business and Industry STEM Education Coalition and announcing an exciting new collaboration: SETforJOBS.org. As a free-form, social networking community, this site will allow associations and states to enroll their members in a platform that fosters communication, idea sharing and mentoring with national, local and state participants. SETforJOBS.org will be a multimedia site with video segments, including the Real People, Real Stories series, photos, articles, interactive activities, contest, educational tools and more. EIC is leading the BISEC communication efforts with this site, which is unlike any other created for the STEM community. “BISEC seeks to facilitate communication and alignment among organizations to achieve greater workforce readiness,” says Rick Stephens, chair of BISEC and Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Administration, Boeing.

    EIC hopes that the site begins as a discussion platform and blossoms into a mentoring and educational portal where young people discover their passion for science, engineering and technology and gain insight into job opportunities in these fields.

    The Innovation Intake also features an extended look at EIC’s Ready on the S.E.T. and... ACTION! initiative which serves to revive American interest in science, engineering and technology (S.E.T.) and will reposition these crucial issues and supplement an innovative approach to reach a wider audience nationwide. EIC is recognizing the positive work being done in the creative community through the S.E.T. Awards which highlight some of the most accurate, compelling, educational and entertaining performances and productions in these fields.
